Recovery truck marker light wiring help

[Joshsl]

Hi all,
I have a 2010 mercedes sprinter recovery truck that I use to move my track car around, I am in the process of replacing my marker lights down the side of the bed and I am after some wiring help.

I know to get them to come on with the side/ head lights I need to splice into the side light feed but I want to get them to flash with the indicators aswel, I have had a look on the tinted webs and all I can find is people who have wired the earth from the marker lights into the earth for the indicators but this is on trailers.
Does anyone know if this will work for what I am trying to do or do I need to do something else?

The earth for the indicators already is the earth for the lights, there is only one earth on a car.

They can only really do one thing or the other, unless that is you use twin filament bulbs and wire them up separately.

As above, no chance, earth is earth

Marker lights going on and off with indicators is surely an MOT fail

As above, you can achieve it with twin filament bulbs
